AI Shoujo is a 3D dating & sex simulator developed by Illusion, the makers of Koikatsu. Originally released on the 25th of October 2019, the game was later localized and released on Steam on the 17th of March 2020. This review was made before the localization and is a YouTube original.
In the world of AI Shoujo, you are free to build your own paradise island populated by sexy girls of your own design by utilizing a complex character maker holding the tools to help you make your dream Waifu. Explore the island full of resources that can be used to craft items and furniture. Ever so slowly, shape the island and the girls to your liking and live a carefree life enjoying sex with no limits!

AI Shoujo Gameplay
You wake up stranded on a tiny island, woken by the first girl you have created in the character maker. It is here where your quest to explore the island and gather all its resources begins! Before starting a new story, you are asked to create your playable avatar, either male or female (or futanari). Do note that you can change sex and appearance during gameplay without having to start a new adventure so there is no pressure when choosing. Naturally, your decision will decide the nature of sex that you will be experiencing throughout the game.
Just like when you first create your playable character, so you must create your first female companion with whom to live on the island. Once done so, the game soon opens up for you to have the freedom to play and explore at your own leisure. Get to know your companion and take care of their needs like hunger and hygiene. As your relationship with the companion rises, so does their desire to have sex with you.
You can have up to four girls populating the island. As you explore the world, you may discover hidden pods with a new girl inside. All of these girls are creations of your own as there are no default companions. Once you reach the max amount of girls on the island, you have to start making tough decisions about who to keep and who to throw out when wishing to spend time with a completely new character. This is an unfortunate limitation that takes very little time to reach.
Outside dating and sex, the player can build houses in specified locations that provide shelter and a place where the girls can spend time doing different activities. This is the second important element of the game that can provide fun for many hours to come as you work towards your dream house.
Character maker
Thanks to AI Shoujo’s advanced character maker, you can create all sorts of Waifus to have fun with. Manipulate many parts of your character to mold them to your liking, and once done so, release them into the island to live their independent lives.
There are plenty of options to give reason to spend hours creating the perfect Waifu, but when it comes to clothing options, things can feel quite lacking on this part. Worry not though, through the power of mods, one can transform AI Shoujo’s character creator into a true paradise with no limits! Just like with Koikatsu, ManyMacro offers quality-of-life improvements to Ai Shoujo and its character maker. Thanks to the increased clothing options that come along with the patch, no longer will you feel restricted by the game’s limitations!
World
The world of AI Shoujo is a very small and narrow one. For an island, it provides very little moving space and generally feels claustrophobic by design. There are not that many points of interest for other than new housing grounds to build upon. Unfortunately, the world can be explored within mere minutes, thus ending the adventure as quickly as it started.
The minimap provided in the bottom left corner of the player’s screen shows locations of interest to harvest precious minerals and other goodies. Over time, these resource-gathering spots refresh for a new harvest. Simply march up to a gathering spot, press a button, and watch as your character collects the resource from the ground. Repeat this action until you got plenty of resources to craft your desired asset used to build or decorate a house. Outside this simple pattern, there is really nothing else to do in the world besides having sex with the girls.
Gathering & Crafting
Gather resources across the island to craft items and tools. Improved tools are used to gather even more demanding resources while resources themselves are used to craft furniture and gifts for the girls. You can store items and resources from your inventory in a box that keeps your stuff safe to be collected later. You can place these storage boxes in each of your houses to act as a linked storage unit.
Housing System
Part of the main gameplay besides enjoying the company of the girls is to gather resources used to build shelters. There are few specified locations across the island where you are free to build your dream house. The building space varies depending on the location starting from small.
Gather resources, craft tools & items, and slowly build your way to be able to create the first shelter that you may call home one day. Working on a dream house takes a lot of time and resources, but each house asset that you unlock is yours to use forever without further resources required. Eventually, you will be able to create stunning-looking living spaces worthy to be proud of. One might say, what first started as a slum has slowly transformed into a palace.
The girls will take advantage of your shelters and spend time around them. You might return home and discover one of your girls taking a bath, cooking food, reading a book, or sleeping. Some of the furniture can also be used for sex. To spice things up, you can even spend time building your very own sex dungeon. Though the assets may be lacking in this specific area, it is still more than doable.
With paid DLCs come new furniture to take advantage of. Things like a futuristic sci-fi fuck machine are some of the more notable additions. Note that as of writing this, the DLCs are Japanese exclusive. However, this can be bypassed by taking advantage of ManlyMacro AI Shoujo Mods.
AI Shoujo Adult Content
The paradise island is full of locations to have sex. Depending on your environment, your character has several poses to take advantage of. When wanting to experience sex in AI Shoujo, it might be wise to plan ahead and call the girl to the most desired location with many possibilities.
Getting to have sex is based around a heart meter that fills up for each girl depending on your interaction with them. The heart meter also fills on its own over time but the progress is slower than when the player spends time with the girls.
Unfortunately for those in a hurry, AI Shoujo does not feature a free sex mode where you could skip all the dating elements similar to Koikatsu. The only way to experience sex is by playing the game and slowly progressing towards a relationship status where one can request sex whenever feeling like it. Ultimately, there is always a little bit of work required before getting to have sex.
With many possibilities to create whatever kind of character you desire, the sex in AI Shoujo can feel almost infinite. Though the number of sex poses found in the game will remain the same, a new look on a girl every now and then helps extend the game’s lifespan.
While AI Shoujo has many things to improve upon as a big-budget title sold for full AAA price, it still nails its adult content that is hard to rival by other products outside of Illusion’s own library of games. It certainly can keep you occupied for many hours to come, especially with the addition of mods!
